BPA
GENERAL
  Bisphenol-A(BPA) is a white, solid chemical produced by recombining phenol and acetone catalyzed by hydrochloric acid. BPA also referred to as 2,2-bis (p-hydroxyphenyl) propane and Diphenyolpropane, has a structure which makes it suitable as a monomer to produce polycarbonate, epoxy, phenolic, polyester and other resins. Used directly as am additive, it improves the stability of many other resin systems. The presence of two hydroxyl groups at opposite ends of the BPA molecule permits unhindered reaction with a variety of other chemicals under reasonably mild process conditions Health and safety information is available through the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS).
